Into the head wind - maybe 1-2 maybe 5 seconds? If the shoes are smooth lined then it'd be negligible since the seams etc would act as dimples/disturbance/etc... though I'm no gynaecologist when it comes to such things.

Yes. It was awful.

I had a fine set of crust over a couple of large road rash areas, dry and cracking perfectly. It was just starting to get itchy around the edges and everything.

Then a physio turns to a nurse and says "get this covered up!". That physio hated my guts. She had previously caught me lifting my full bodyweight up using the arm with the broken scapula and ordered me to be fitted in a sling 24x7. Biatch. It wasn't like it was hurting or anything (morphine has that effect I'm told). I ended up hating her too. Biatch.

Anyway, the crust melted away into the browny green slime and I developed a nice dose of strep. Joy! Somehow bacteria got involved and were very happy in their new sealed humidicrib. Faarken I was crook for days before they decided to take any action. To add to the misery the lab couldn't work out which strain of infection I had, and the ABs they were giving me were doing the equivalent of glaring menacingly at the bacteria. The bacteria laughed and carried on polluting my blood. Joy!

So I guess I'm not a fan.

I'd love to see if it really cost time. Nev probably has some cool obscure german study for us

As for Jana - did she pull that little heart muscle of hers? She's injured more often than i'm pissed.

Keep telling yourself that toughman

I prefer my bedsheets and pants when they are NOT stuck to the side of my hip because the scar keeps cracking and pussing all over my clothes.

Keep it clean. Keep it moist. Keep it wrapped ( oh no, I'm walking straight into a thunder/classic ghey joke)

This method provides enough pressure to gently wash out any embedded particles while minimising further tissue trauma.

You keep refilling the syringe and washing the wound until it's clean. Then pat dry, apply triple antibiotic ointment to a dressing pad (if you are a lucky bugger who lives in Seppoland and can buy it over the counter) stick it on the wound, bung on an occlusive dressing, something like Opsite. Change the dressing only when it gets too wet, applying more ointment, and you should notice things improving substantially within 7 days.

I don't know why the scrubbing thing is still popular, all it does is traumatise already damaged tissue even more and forces the grit particles deeper into the wound.

tagsi, please please pleeeeeeeeese, can I put some golden triangle opiates in those needles...

please
